in a field of flowers
a flower stands still
looking the same
as every other will

in a field of color
with lots of room
there is no space
for change to bloom

in this field of beauty
this flower meddles
and wonders why
each flower has petals

in a field of judgment
and rules and stares
this little flower
does what no one else dares.

in a field of eyes
she takes off her petals
despite the judgment
that always unsettles

in a field of reactions
that differs upon each
this little flower explains
the lesson she wishes to teach

each flower stands the same
yet each is unique
for beauty is natural
and it’s not to critique
an absolutely astounding poem written by my friend gabriel <33

I’ve managed to catch it
The last possible stop of the sober train that will take me away from the dark path I was trudging down
I’ve paid my last dues
Felt my last hangover
I brought my memories knowing one day they will be put on the shelf to collect dust
I will make sober memories that will be more important than any drunken night
This train is taking me places
To a brighter light
To happier healthier times
Pushing me to become the best person I can be
For everyone around me
For my son
For myself
A new light is coming

you looked into my eyes which always seemed to remind you of the ocean. you said your dad never told you that you may drown while admiring the waves, your smile said not being able to breathe would be worth it. I thought about how you’re like the ocean breeze, giving breath to tired lungs. you swirl the sea, placing troubled minds at ease. you built sandcastles with your voice which I began to call home but it’s quiet now, all I can hear is a tsunami and I can’t seem to catch my breath
everything is about you now
Deep witchery
I have felt
So much torment
Inside this Hell
Moves so close
Yet so far away
No time for alliances
Nothing left to say

-

Please forgive me
For I have felt
Deep within this Heaven
Deep within this Hell

-

Tho I sleep
I will Rise
Only to Awaken
To this Dream
This Paradise
Phew, this took a lot out of me
Thanks to my friends and  family

used to think i was so wise
yes, my words were so clever
and now i stare at my demise
regretting my foolish endeavour

i thought my words could hold you
that they would show you my heart
but you just saw right through
my carefully crafted piece of art

All I need is,
The stars,
The moon,
The sea,
The night,
All I need is,
You.

I shall live or not,
But I'll keep you up eternal in my words.
I shall wither with age,
But I'll resurrect ages for our love.
I shall tear & break,
But I'll keep you intact & stitched.
I fight with you like life,
But I will fight the life for you.
I have been in love,
Like the sun loves the sky.
I have been love,
Like the night loves the stars.
I have been in love,
Like dreams love sleep.
I have been in love,
Like candle loves flames.

I have been in love with you,
I will be in you with love.
You will stay in love with me.

We are in the loop of love.
We are the love in loop.

We can stop and see the leaves
stretched out above our head
Our heads are not so high
And it's only ground we tread
My favorite part of life
Just to breathe
As I lay and watch the stars
I feel the ground beneath

Connecting me
We can stop and see the leaves
But what's connecting me
Like roots spread out in all directions
Our heads are not so high
It's the simple ground we tread
And in the soil
Our lives we toil

Yes our blood is in the soil
And I just breathe
I thank God for food to eat
I feel the ground beneath
As I lay and watch the stars
Stretched out above our heads
Our dreams are powerful
It's the simple ground we tread

My favorite part of life
Connecting me
The stars up high in heaven
The roots of mighty tree
And I just breathe
Our lives we toil
I thank God for food to eat
And in the soil
I don't know. Show the ground some love yo. We all stand on it.
